Chapter 518: The Beginning of the Arduous Race

Aduris went off injured and was replaced by an Under-17 player who had been called up from the second team on a temporary basis.

Time was running out and the substitution was more symbolic than practical.

It shows that Maritimo's rotation is resolute and thorough, and replacing the 40-year-old veteran with a 17-year-old young man shows that the team has a successor and a promising future.

But in fact, after the U17 youngster came on the field, he didn't even rub the ball, and the game was over.

Neither side was able to rewrite the scoreline.

The battle ended in a 2:2 draw.

Although it was the first game that Maritimo failed to win in the Portuguese Super League this season, no one will blame them because they played purely on the bench and got a point when the pre-match public opinion generally thought they would lose by 2-3 goals, which is already very commendable.

If you combine the situation on the field, especially the initiative that Maritimo firmly controlled in the second half, then their performance can be described as perfect!

And the veteran Aduris was selected as the MVP of this round of the Portuguese Super League by major sports media.

His performance can no longer be simply called excellent, it is simply "old trees give birth to new shoots, and dead trees are spring"!

However, Aduris himself still blames himself, feeling that when the team and the coach needed him the most, he left the field due to injury and failed to help the team win, and he was very unwilling.

Of course, Gao Yuan was relieved again, telling him that he was already very satisfied.

also made a joke, "Fortunately, you only scored two goals, if you score a hat trick, I'm really afraid that Maritimo won't be able to keep you and be poached by Real Madrid and Barcelona!" ”

The post-match MRI showed that Aduris had suffered a severe thigh muscle strain, and his ligaments appeared to be somewhat damaged, with doctors estimating that he would need at least three months to recover based on his age.

Aduris was once again in a state of great frustration.

3 months! Not to mention that he will miss the busiest stage of the team's schedule; What's even more troublesome is that at the age of 41, can he still regain his form after suffering such a serious injury?

Gao Yuan told him nonchalantly: "2 months is the treatment time of Western medicine, if you combine your own Chinese medicine treatment, then after a maximum of three weeks, you will be able to return to the court alive again!" In the next tough schedule, I still count on you as an important rotation force for the team! ”

Gao Yuan didn't brag, but it was just a matter of two "reduction pills"! 15,000 reputation only.

For my current self, this prestige is nothing!

Of course, he can buy more "Restoration Dan" to help Aduris recover. But that wouldn't be cost-effective, and the "Restore Dan" would only recover 50% of the existing injuries at a time. Half of the three months is a month and a half, and the second half is three weeks.

That's enough, with just over two weeks of international break days in between.

Besides, if the recovery time is too fast, it is not easy to explain to the outside world. After all, Chinese medicine is medicine, not magic!

Aduris was skeptical of Takato's words.

More than 40 years of life experience and more than 20 years of career told him that what Gao Yuan said was against the attempt; However, some time ago, Ronaldo's rapid recovery from injury, as well as the legendary miracle recovery from injury that almost ended Jorah's career, made Aduris have to believe that Chinese medicine does seem to have magic.

Thinking about Jora's daily chatter, spitting and meditating all day long, Aduris's heart has a little more hope, I hope that a miracle can come again!

After this match, the Portuguese Super League entered a break.

Gao Yuan gave the team a holiday to let the players relax and prepare for the next series of intensive fixtures.

And Gao Yuan did not work overtime for the first time this time, and after arranging all the work, he took Yan Ruyu and Xiaoxia to Saipan, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and enjoyed a fairy-like life.

After a flick of his fingers during the ten-day holiday, Gao Yuan returned to work with a happy mood and dragged his tired body.

"Boss, why have you lost weight, you have to take care of your body!"

In the club base, almost everyone sees Gao Yuan, and they either have good intentions or "bad intentions" to remind them.

Everyone found that it was Yan Ruyu, the female manager who was already very beautiful, who became more and more delicate and beautiful, like a peony flower that had absorbed enough nutrients.

Gao Yuan: TMD is more tired than working when he goes out to play! It's still work that makes me comfortable!

The national team break was also quickly over.

The players returned to the base one after another.

Gao Yuan was in no hurry to let them participate in training, and gave them a few days off to rest and recuperate.

Rest is very important! People are not machines, and they can't be tossed without black and white! Gao Yuan has a deep understanding of this point after this vacation experience!

This can be regarded as the final charge for the next tense schedule.

The coaching staff was a little worried about the players' physical condition and whether they would be able to return to their best.

Gao Yuan is not worried at all in this regard, and his system can regulate the condition of the players and supplement the fitness of the players. The reason for the holiday is mainly to regulate the psychology of the players and prevent them from becoming war-weary in the case of continuous rotation.

For Gao Yuan, the exhaustion of the body is easy to solve, and the exhaustion of the heart is more troublesome.

Three days before the game, Maritimo finally started to train with the first team, except for Aduris, who has not fully recovered from his injury, everyone else is in good physical condition, and the mentality is very positive, and the desire to fight is very strong.

Maritimo is ready to wait for the busy schedule to begin!

Previously, some media analysts said: One of the important reasons why Maritimo was able to win the championship with such a huge advantage last season was that they played fewer games, and the top three in the Portuguese Super League were all multi-front battles, and in the continuous competition and flight, physical fitness, state, and concentration were greatly affected. This season, Maritimo will face such a challenge, and as a young defending champions, what kind of answer can they hand in?

This is also a concern for all.

The first Portuguese Super League match after the league break was a battle of focus.

Maritimo travels to Porto.

This is a clash between the old and new giants of the Portuguese Super League.

People are looking forward to what kind of sparks will be sparked between the two teams, and whether there will be an epic battle like Mars hitting Earth.

But to everyone's great disappointment, the final result, Porto lost 0:1 to Maritimo.

And the scene is as boring as the score!

Porto have been hit hard by the "FIFA virus", the team is full of injuries, and the main players are generally out of shape.

Pressed by a fiery Maritimo, Porto tried several counter-attacks, but instead of being able to threaten the opposition goal, they almost conceded a goal.

Head coach Conceição had no choice but to focus on defending and trying to hold on to a draw.

Playing away, Maritimo was in complete control of the game.

In the second half, Porto's fitness was even more problematic, and several of the main players who played the whole game in the national team suffered from cramps.

Conceição had to replace his unfit main man with the Champions League in midweek in midweek, which further weakened Porto's fighting power.

Maritimo's onslaught finally paid off in the 63rd minute, with a corner kick scored by Dzeko.

After taking the lead, Maritimo took it when he saw it at the signal of Gao Yuan, and began to play pass control, controlling the ball at his feet and slowing down the pace to avoid injury and save physical strength.

The other party didn't have the energy to fight back anymore, and this battle of focus came to the end in a ball of harmony.

Maritimo won the game bloodlessly, which is a good start for this arduous schedule!
